A Coral Catastrophe

Underneath the crystal-like water

In the shallows,

There is something magnificent:

A blast of colour, magenta, amber and aquamarine,

All kinds of coral.

The sunrise shines upon the horizon,

Almost as if you could touch it.

As the glistening, gold sun rises,

A disastrous problem rises:

Beautiful coral and such destroyed by two words,

CLIMATE CHANGE.

Waves crashing down

Like a big bang

And destroying habitats.

Swoosh,

Beautiful but strong.

Coral dancing yet standing still,

Losing the magic, turning white as snow,

Spreading and destroying;

But we can do more.
